“Downtown Madison, Inc. is first and foremost vested in our city’s welfare. When critical decisions are made regarding where Madison‘s resources are invested, DMI is involved. The individuals who comprise DMI‘s leadership take great pains to accurately represent our membership. They thoroughly consider options, and donate seemingly-endless time and effort to issues that deserve serious consideration. Being a member is one of the best ways I know to personally affect our community’s future. ”
- Jenifer Winiger, Publisher, Madison Magazine


“As architects and engineers, we know firsthand how vital it is to maintain a robust city center. The economic and social benefits of a vibrant downtown resonate throughout the entire Greater Capital Region. Downtown Madison Inc. empowers its members with the necessary information and insight to help ensure a healthy downtown Madison.”
- Randy Banks, Director of Marketing & Client Services, Strang, Inc.


"As a Sales and Marketing Executive, I use DMI as a networking tool to meet new clients and establish and grow relationships. This is the strongest, most encouraging membership organization in Madison that has measurable benefits and results. It is truly driven by the members. As a DMI member, I also have the opportunity for exposure and involvement in policy, economic and political issues that affect me and my business. DMI gets involved, takes a stand and is full of action; not just talk for a healthy downtown."
- Emily Wendt, Account Executive, Hilton Madison Monona Terrace and Sheraton Madison


"I am constantly referring new and old friends to DMI. I have found DMI to be inclusive, easy to get involved in, and a good mix of all sizes/types of businesses and individuals. Staff works hard to reach out and engage with the members and provide a good experience."
- Vickie Wenzel, Vice President, Target Commercial Interiors


“For me, DMI brings people together. I work on the far Westside of Madison, but I am happy to visit downtown for DMI Networking opportunities. I enjoy the monthly breakfast meetings. I learn about what’s happening in and around Madison, and I have an opportunity to connect with those in Madison that make business happen. I love the evening events because I have great conversations while learning about numerous downtown venues. The proof that this high caliber networking works – the business loans we have secured by the relationships developed through DMI.”
- Tammy Jelinek, Business Relationship Manager, Wells Fargo Bank


"DMI is a great organization. Home Savings Bank has numerous locations throughout Dane County and I can always count on a presentation or new topical information I’m seeking coming through DMI. The number of successful business owners and decisions makers you can reach through DMI is amazing.”
- Todd Schneider, Senior Vice President, Home Savings Bank


"Being new to the Madison business scene, I have found DMI to be an invaluable resource. DMI’s networking events have allowed me to make great connections and begin growing my professional network almost immediately and its educational presentations have allowed me to learn more about Madison, its businesses, and its communities. I cannot think of a better way to get plugged into the Madison market.”
- Megan L.W. Jerabek, Attorney, von Briesen & Roper, s.c.
